I got this adorable sweater from Christopher and Banks (they now offer online shopping, for those who do not live near a store!):

and then a fun pair of shoes from Payless Shoes Source:

This pair of shoes has a matching purse you can buy, but I don't want to overdo the polka-dots! But I'm thinking...a red purse would look really sharp. Yes? No? I'm making a black skirt to complete the outfit.
And since Payless Shoes Source is having their BOGO sales, I threw these in for fun:

They are perfect for the occasions between dressy and extremely casual!
I have a "theory" for shopping, if you will. I buy 90% or more of my clothing on clearance. But every once in a while, when I need new clothing, I am willing to purchase a few pieces at full price that I absolutely love and know I will wear the entire season. To me, it is worth it. I don't have to wait till the end of the season and pick through the leftovers. But like I said, I only buy a few pieces that way.
I'm really looking forward to wearing my new outfit! =)
